Fill bag with melted coating. Pipe designs onto cookies; decorate with sprinkles. Freeze option: Freeze undecorated cookies in freezer containers.

"I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies came out perfectly. I did rotate the pan in my oven due to heat inversions. I did not bother frosting these since by themselves the cookies are very rich."

"I have made this several times since Christmas. Can't find Andes' chips so I just crush actual Andes...it takes extra time to unwrap all of them but definitely worth it :) Even my husband who doesn't like mint had quite a few. ;) I take them to work and family events knowing I'm bringing something unique."
